Gradle Spock test after execution of a task - plugins

Hi I want to write a Spock test for my Gradle plugin to test if a report is being generated after the execution of a task from the plugin, so
private ProjectInternal project
...
public void 'check tasks'(){
given:
project.gradle.startParameter.taskNames = ["myTaskName"]
project.gradle.buildListenerBroadcaster.projectsLoaded(project.gradle)
when:
project.plugins.apply(MYPlugin.class)
project.?????
then:
...
But the "then:" section has to check the existance of a file but for this "myTaskName" has to be executed, how to make Ggradle to execute my task? There is no such method
afterExecution ??

This kind of test is suitable for testing plugins, but not for testing tasks. Applying a plugin only configures tasks, it doesn't execute them. In order to execute tasks, you'll have to kick off a "real" build from your test. The recommended way to do this is via the Gradle tooling API.

If you are prior Gradle 5 you can use project.your_task.execute()

How to chain SBT task with multi module project

I have configured one SBT multi-module project with scoverage plugin, which is working fine.
To generate test coverage, I am using > SBT clean coverage test coverageReport but is there any way to create a new task which chains internally coverage test coverageReport.
I have tried
Run custom task automatically before/after standard task to create a custom task, but it seems not working with multimodule project.
And one more - http://eed3si9n.com/sequencing-tasks-with-sbt-sequential
Try addCommandAlias like so
addCommandAlias("coverageAll", ";clean;coverage;test;coverageReport")
Now executing sbt coverageAll should generate coverage report for all the sub-projects.

Do Scalatests run in parallel by default under Gradle?

We have tests written in Scala using Scalatest and JUnit4. The tests are annotated with #RunWith(classOf[JUnitRunner]). We're using Gradle 4.2.x and I'd like to know, if the Scala tests are executing in parallel by default.
I think for parallel running you will need to add something like this to your test in build.gradle
test {
maxParallelForks = Runtime.runtime.availableProcessors().intdiv(2) ?: 1
}

what's the gradle equivalent of sbt's "testQuick"

Scala's sbt has the option to run only tests that previously failed. Is there a gradle equivalent?
https://www.scala-sbt.org/1.x/docs/Testing.html#testQuick
gradle does this automatically with all update-to-date tests marked as such, based on code changes since latest test passing.
You can also force re-run of tests if need be: How to run Gradle test when all tests are UP-TO-DATE?

sbt ignore test failures

For SonarQube jobs in Jenkins we'd like to proceed even though some tests might fail. Currently the Sonar Runner is not kicked off, because a test fails.
In Maven you'd just add -DtestFailureIgnore = true, but I cannot find anything similar for SBT.
I did find a onFailure thing for sbt, but have not found any examples anywhere how to use this. Could this be used to ignore test failures so the build job continues so the Sonar Runner gets started afterwards?
Or is there a setting in Jenkins to ignore the result of the build?
We use 'sbt clean coverage test coverageReport' as build command and have Sonar Runner in a post-build step.
Finally found a solution myself.
In SBT you can define a new task A which captures the result of another task B. This dependency ensures that task B is run when the new task A is started. By capturing the result, the result of task B is not the result of task A so if B fails, A does not (have to) fail.
So in this case, I added created a new 'ciTests' tasks to the 'build.sbt'
// Define a special test task which does not fail when any test fails,
// so sequential tasks (like SonarQube analysis) will be performed no matter the test result.
lazy val ciTests = taskKey[Unit]("Run tests for CI")
ciTests := {
// Capture the test result
val testResult = (test in Test).result.value
}
Now in the Jenkins job it build the project using SBT with commands (using SCoverage SBT plugin):
update coverage ciTests coverageReport
This build will succeed ignoring any failing tests. Therefore a next build step to start SonarRunner will start the analysis of the Scala project and put the results in SonarQube.

Gradle: Make task from custom plugin run first

I have a custom gradle plugin, say myPlugin, with a task, say myTask, that has to validate and create a file before the build starts. How do I make sure that gradle runs myTask before any other task from any other plugin?
You can't use a task for that. You can use a hook such as project.gradle.buildStarted { ... }.
